Donald Trump faced a fresh indictment Tuesday, and the usual suspects on the far right of the Republican party have been howling in protest.
Former news journalist turned failed Arizona Gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake was among those to lambast the new charges against Trump.
Lake’s answer? She believes now is the time for all the other Republicans jostling for the Presidential nomination to suspend their campaigns and support Trump.
Yeah, like that is going to happen.
This latest SHAM indictment is the line in the sand.
That's why I'm calling on all Republican primary candidates to suspend their campaigns & rally around President Donald J. Trump.
“This is the most egregious case of election interference in the history of our country,” Lake said in a statement. “It is a battle the unified Republican party MUST fight. Otherwise we will lose this country forever.
“This is why I am calling on all Republican candidates for President to immediately suspend their campaigns, stop wasting hard-earned donor money and rally around our nominee, President Donald J. Trump.”
It’s a message Lake has continued to push, tweeting last night, “The radical left & their corrupt DOJ want @realDonaldTrump to die in jail. We cannot afford to spend the next 6 months setting donor money on fire & tearing each other apart. This primary is over. We need a unified front.”
When not howling about her beloved Donald Trump, Lake took time out to remind everyone, “One year ago, the people of Arizona chose me to be their Republican nominee for Governor. We took a sledgehammer to their corrupt political machine.”
The people of Arizona did not vote for Lake. They elected Democrat Katie Hobbs as their governor.
The new charges against Trump
We have a feeling none of the other Republican candidates would agree with Lake’s view that “the primary is over.” However, they appear to be struggling with how best to respond to Trump’s indictment. Most have blasted what they call the “weaponization” of the Department of Justice without wishing to show too much support for Trump personally.
The federal grand jury’s 45-page indictment relates to the January 6 insurrection and Trump’s role within it. It includes four counts: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.
Prosecutors say Trump was “determined to remain in power” and that he spread lies to create an “intense national atmosphere of mistrust and anger” and “erode public faith in the administration of the election”.
Other MAGA figures to leap to Trump’s defense include Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, even if one of her initial tweets appeared to concede he’s potentially going to jail.
I will still vote for Trump even if he’s in jail.
This is a communist attack on America’s first amendment to vote for who THE PEOPLE want for President by an attempt to take Trump off the ballots through a politically weaponized DOJ.
Laura Loomer, who—like Kari Lake—is another failed Republican candidate for office who likes to peddle a hard line in conspiracy theories—said she couldn’t sleep worrying about Trump’s woes.
What a shame.
So terrible what the Department of Injustice is doing to President Trump. We live in a third world country.
Trump himself has consistently blasted news of the latest indictment. His latest move is to push any impending court case until after the 2024 election and away from Washington DC. His lawyer, John Lauro, suggested to CBS Mornings that Washington DC was too “heavily Democratic”. Lauro mulled West Virginia as an alternative.
This view was echoed by Senator Lindsey Graham last night. He said Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, who is overseeing the case, “hates Trump”. Online, some were quick to point out that Graham voted to confirm Chutkan’s appointment in 2014.
Lindsey Graham voted to confirm the judge. The Senate vote was 95-0. https://t.co/uqzoOCNyXV
We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
I DO hope the greedy, lying, egotistical, fraudulent, treasonous rapist dies in jail.
And I also hope every one of sycophants and groupies has a collective aneurism at his sentencing, so that we can leave this era of insanity and awfulness behind without having to deal with the idiot stragglers trying to hold us back and make us subservient to their out-dated and offensive white supremacist and religious extremist bullshit.
I’m through with playing ‘nice progressive’ with these flaming trash piles in human skin. My empathy for them is in the negative. I want them GONE.
I’m tired of waking up to some new monstrosity committed or spoken by one of these jackasses.
I’m tired of the constant stress of wondering if today is the day a Trumpanzee comes into my Target and opens fire in support of his God Emperors hatred of rainbows.
I’m sick of waiting for a man we all saw commit treason on live television to get what’s coming to him.
I’m sick of his supporters being allowed to continue spreading treasonous lies and hate.
I GUARANTEE that ‘supporting a tyrant in committing a coup, deliberately lying to the public at every turn, and fomenting hatred and division among the republic for no reason other than political gain’ were not what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they wrote the First Amendment (much like I am quite certain they would be horrified that ‘supporters of the Second Amendment’, AKA ammosexuals, consider schools and churches and theaters and parks and clubs full of dead children, dead women, and dead teenagers – you know, OUR FUTURE?! – to be ‘the price we pay for freedom’), and we should stop pretending that blatant, malicious lies and the deliberate spread of hatred are ‘free speech’.
Until we stop treating lies and hate the same way we treat political disagreements, I will keep hoping for a Biblical-style plague to befall the Far Right. Maybe if they can’t deny that God is punishing them anymore, they’ll change their ways.
That or they’ll just die off in denial of reality the way they’re trying to kill us all for profit by denying climate change and pollution.
Either way…

I do hope tRUMP dies in jail…..I hope his corrupt daughter and adult sons die alongside him. I hope he is convicted, sentenced, and rots in jail and never sees the light of day again. I hope he has no access to social media and cannot spread further lies to the public. I hope he is completely stripped of any wealth he might possess and faces huge fines and goes completely and utterly broke with no chance of ever earning a dime again after his years of grifting and working the system and cheating people time and time and time again. I hope his fat, ugly, lying mouth never utters another word that people have to listen to publicly.
They’ve got me there….I hate him. I think he’s a disgusting pile of garbage. I think he put the P.O.S. in POTUS the entire time he was in office. So yeah….they’ve got me….the jig is up!
it makes you wonder if at the trump rallys they pulled a “manson family values” LSD type brainwashing drug on the attendants. the BAD SEED is over the expiration date and most of the country groans when they see those collapsed nostrils wheezing on his pin-cushioned face.
someone please tell his boyfriend walt nauta that STOVEPIPE pants went out of style with high button shoes.
